Manage secret storage using the Splunk SDK for JavaScript

You can call the storage/passwords REST API endpoint using the Splunk SDK for JavaScript.

Use these classes from the SDK to manage secret storage:

• splunkjs.Service.StoragePassword for an individual secret.
• splunkjs.Service.StoragePasswords for a collection of secrets.

Access these classes through an instance of the splunkjs.Service class. First, retrieve a collection, and then you can access and create individual items in the collection.

 Examples

The following examples show how to manage secret storage in an app using the Splunk SDK for JavaScript. To use these examples, you must be connected to a Splunk Enterprise instance.

Store a new secret for the user1 user:

JavaScript
// Get the current user
// Get the collection of secrets
var storagePasswords = service.storagePasswords();
 
// Create a new secret
storagePasswords.create({
    name: "user1", 
    realm: "realm1",

        if (err) 
            {console.warn(err);}
        else {
        // Secret was created successfully
        console.log("Found " + storagePasswords.list().length + " storage passwords");
        }
